Are The Times Hard ?

People are talking about hard
times, low prices and poor prospects,
but all the while they are buying
many things they formerly did not
feel able to purchase, meanwhile put
ting money in banks, and investing
it in the West and elsewhere. Whether
is a sign of prosperity or not, we
dare not say, but we believe there
never was a time, except possibly
just following the war, when the peO-
pie were buying as many carriages,
musical instruments, fine clothes.
watches and other things not abso-
lutelv needed as they are now. There
probably never was time in this
county when the farm buildings
were worth the sum they are to-day.
Real estate sold higher for several
wears than it does to-day, but it was
never worth any more, all things
considered. Wherever there is intel
ligent farming the productive capaci-
ty of this county is on the increase.
We hardly can account for the
ability of the farmers to meet their
current obligations, especially if in
debt, at the same time adding to
their stock of tools, their buildings,
their furniture, clothing, books and
other things what they seem to be
adding.
Every farm product averages low,
but store goods, on the other hand
are low, and the cost of living is not
as great as it was for several years
during and after the war.
We are looking for a greater i'm
proyement in the future, and hope
the present year will be the begin
ming of better times all through the
country. The signs are pointing that
way. In the meantime keep expens-
es down below incomes and you will
have a few dollars in the wallet.

Oleomargar1ne.

Hon. A. Y. Parker, representative
in congress from the St. Lawrence
district of New York, and the cham
pion of the oleomargarine bill, con-
tributes to the POtsdam Herald a
statement of facts illustrative of four
months operation of the new law.
From these facts we Gull the most i'm
portant:
The whole number of manufacto-
ries in the United States is 81. Two
are in Denver, two others are west of
the Mississippi river; II are in Chi
cage, six in New York state, five in
Pennsylvania, four in Ohio, one in
One is located at Kansas beef-point,
'Armourdale, and all of the others
are in cities-a fact suggestive of the
origin and nature of the material
used.
There are 266 wholesale dealers
who have paid the special tax. They
are distributed in 81 states and terri
tories st. Louis has one, New Y ork
state has eighteen, Boston has thirty,
81 localities have one each, and these
81 are distributed in % states and
territories. Chicago has p, Pitts
burg has II, Michigan has 20 in ten
localities. The whole South has 46,
and Massachusetts has 46.
There are nine in Montana Hi
nOis has %, and Rhode Island, small
as she is, has Is. Florida, New
Hampshire, Georgia and Iowa have
one each, while Vermont, mississippi,
North and South CarOliaa, West Nir-
ginia, Delaware, California and Ore
gOn have none.
There are 1857 retailers in SO
states and territories. Illinois has
Col, Iowa 1, Massachusetts $40,
Rhode Island 258, New York city and
Brooklyn 1871, New Jersey 203 and
Connecticut 148. Vermont has none
The greatest amount of the product
is sold in the manufacturing districts
where most of the operatives board.
1t does not sell well where they keep
house.
Chicago is the largest manufacture
ing center and distributing point of
imitation butter in the world. 1t has
II manufactures, y wholesale deal
ers, and $40 retailers within it's col
lection district. The New \ Ork city
and Brooklyn districts have five man
ufactories, ID wholesale dealers and
1877 retailers. The Boston district
has one mandatory, 80 wholesale
and 80 retail dealers. The Provi-
dence district has five manufactures,
IS wholesale and 258 retail dealers.
The amount withdrawn from factories
for expectation is of small cOnse-
quence, being only 1921 lbs. for
the four months. This shows that
the foreign demand for the mixture
is very limited.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
pEcIAL CORRESPONDENTS OF THE MONITOR. ]
WdshinQtOn, Mdu 23d.

" UofttftJCOt. mug -e(tt-
The soldier boys are all here, and
Washington is full of martial music
and beat of drums. The National
Drill opened this morning, but the
contests will not begin until to-mor-
row. To-day was devoted to some
formalities such as receiving the
troops, naming the camp, and this
afternoon there was a dress parade
by all the companies. For the past
few days large crowds of people have
congregated at the railway stations
to see and welcome the soldiers as
they arrived. The first to make their
appearance were the Louisiana Rifles
of New Orleans, who marched quietly
up Pennsylvania avenue to Willard 5
Hotel and afterwards to camp which
they entered as silently as spies. The
Vicksburg Southrons followed them,
making quite noise with their silver
comets, and the Louisiana men re-
ceived their Mississippi neighbors
with a hearty cheer which was duly
reciprocated.
The city of tents around the base
of the Washington Monument is quite
picturesque, land there is also ladies'
camp just north of the parade
grounds. Large parties accompanied
some of the military organizations

Vermont,s Centennial.

| Vermont was the first addition TO
the family of Is states composing
the Union that emerged from the Rev.
olutiOn. The stormy quarrel over
their land titles which her settlers
had with the authorities of New \ DIRK
kept her out of the Union during the
Revolutionary war, though it did not
keep her sons out of the patriot arm
les. In 1777 the people of Vermont
formed a constitution, and proclaim
mOnwealth, under the name of New
Connecticut. British emissaries tried
to intrigue with them against the -
struggling colonies, but Vermont was
as true to the cause of liberty then
as she has been ever since. But not
until 1871, after New YOrk's de-
mands had been settled by the pay
ment of $50, 900, was she finally adj
mitted to the Union as a state. Dur
ing the first half of this century the
growth of the state was very rapid
but since 1910 her population has
been almost stationary. But if her
people have not increased in num-
bers, they have not diminished in
reputation. If there has been any,
thing steadfast in this world of
change it has been the political prin-
ciples of the people of Vermont. A
steadfast old whig state, it wheeled
easily into the republican line in the
campaign of John c. Fremont, and
has since kept its position without
the shadow of a change. To-day the
republican party can muster in Yer
mont majority that is larger than
the whole democratic party of the
state.
Other states have outstripped Yer
mont in the race for commercial in
fuence. Her rugged hills cannot
compete with the fertile prairies of
the West in anything but the produc-
ton of men. But through the I'M
swerving steadfastness of her people
and the abilities of her statesmen,
Vermont has exerted in the national
councils an influence as disproportion-
ate to her size as that size is dispro-
portionate to the magnitude of Tex
as. The centennial year ought to be
observed by grand celebration, and
four years is none too long a time
ahead to begin to plan for it.-Port-
land Press.

The foreign holders of Kansas Pa
cific bonds have had their lawyers
watching the testimony of Gould and
Sage before the Pacific railroad
commission and claim to have discov-
cred valuable points on which to base
a suit for the recovery of $4,000, 900
of trust securities. Among the as
sets of the Kansas Pacific road placed
in the hands of Gould and Sage as
trustees to the consolidated mortgage,
was 10000 shares of Denver Pacific
stock 1t is claimed that the trus-
tees, in response to a made-up-suit at
law before Judge DOnohue. released
this stock from the lien and sold it at
a nominal sum to the same persons as
individuals, and that after the consol-
idation the stock became worth par.
The creditors of the Kansas Pacific
were thus cheated out of this stock
and are now proposing to sue for its
recovery. This is the story as told
in the New York Commercial Adoer
fiSel.

When a weak-kneed republican pa
per editorially remarks that it would
be a great mistake for the party to
nominate Mr.. Blaine next year the
democratic organs seize upon the
statement with avidity, and the unan-
unity with which they endorse the re-
mark Is beautiful to gaze upon.
Brethren. so long as the democratic
organ holds the opinion that the re-
publicans will make q mistake by
nominating Blaine you may rest as
sured that the party will commit Il
blunder by not nominating him.

The Kansas women have struck
the liquor dealers of that state more
destructively than a cyclone. The
last Legislature not only gave the
women municipal suffrage, but
amended the drugstore law so
that before n druggist can get a
license he must secure the signatures
of twenty-five women and twenty
men to his application. In a good
many towns the women simply won't
sign. and the trade of the wholesale
liquor houses in Kansas CITY. st.
Joseph, and St. Louis is badly hurt.
Heretofore, a druggist with a Ii
cense has sold to anybody for any
purpose, although the law reads for
medicinal and mechanical purposes
only; but with a lot of women vot-
ers ready to punish a mayor who
winks at violations, or the probate
Judge who countersigns the written
application of the customer for liquor
under the latest law, if he relaxes
vigilance. the trade is reported to be
really injured, for the time at least

to enrich itself, vet enriching itself it

The late destructive cOnfagratiOn
in Lebanon, \. H., which nearly
wiped out that fiOurishing community,
offers a wholesome warning to some
of our country towns that it is dam
gerOus to play with fire in the way of
relying upon toy pumps, where mil
lions of property and scores of lives
are at stake.
The village fire brigade, with a
pony pump on wheels in tow, presents
81 formidable appearance on the
Fourth of July, with the Excelsior
brass band' ahead of it. But on the
fatal night when devOuring flame is
on the rampage, leaping like Il de-
mon from house to house, this antique
continuance is a poor match for the
seething giant that is abroad.
One of these days the march of in
vention will compass the problem by
supplying fire eXtinguishing gases in
pipes to village communities from
large cities. Up to the present time,
however, water remains the old tradi-
tional enemy of fire, and effective
machinery must be on hand to force
it where it will do the most good

The secretary of the treasury
announces that interest will cease July
l upon sI9. 800 of the three per
cent bonds of 1882, and that they
will be redeemed by the payment of
principal and interest at that time.
This cleans up the last OF the bonds

OF the government, leaving only
those issues which mature later at the
distance of several years from this
date.

The special crop report of the New
York Journal of Commerce from Chi
cagO presents a much more favorable
outlook than those of the past month.
The dry areas in the winter wheat
belt have been narrowing daily for
some time until rains have fallen
upon nearly the whole of them. Sunday
and Monday of this week the impOr-
tant corn, oats and grass areas of
Northern Illinois have received a
copious rain, while the rest of the
State has had more rain than was
needed. The prospect of spring
wheat continues good. Recent heavy
rains, followed by cool weather, give
one of the best prospects at this
stage of the season that the Northwest
has ever seen. The general condition
of the corn crop was never so favor
able as to day. Planting was COM
pleted much ahead of the usual time,
the fields are clean, and the crop so
forward that q big yield may be
counted on, barring accidents. In
the more advanced portions of the
winter wheat area harvesting will be-
Gin by the middle of June.
